Book Description

Publication Date: December 7, 1988 | ISBN-10: 0387968156 | ISBN-13: 978-0387968155 | Edition: 1

In a single volume, the authors bring together a review of current biological understanding of planktonic foraminifera and apply it to developments in sedimentology. With the growing interest in the shells of this class of protozoa as indicators of the history of the earth, revealed through the sedimentary record, a comprehensive analysis of the biology of contemporary foraminifera has become necessary. Main topics covered include Taxonomy, Collecting and Culture Methods, Cellular Ultrastructure, Host and Symbiont Relationships, Trophic Activity and Nutrition, Reproduction, Shell Ontogeny and Architecture, Ecology and Sedimentation and Settlement of Shells.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Modern Planktonic Foraminifera (Hardcover)

Despite the fact it is not a brand new book, Modern Planktonic Foraminifera is an important reference to who is trying to understand the biological issues regarding this amazing single-celled organisms. The second-hand book I have bought was in a very good state.
